    Inspired by Glee, your new spikes make me think of Madonna

    Haven't decided that yet, I'm sure I'll need a few replacements here & there along the trails.

    Not likely Mr. K, I gave up on giving any more value than what I paid for other peoples opinions...a LONG time ago...
    In my entire life, I've never had any desire to "go with the flow" or be seen driving what everyone else is driving.
    All the way back to my first conveyance, (a tricycle, I think) I've been personalizing whatever is getting me from point A, to point B...
    With little or no regard for what everyone else might be doing.

    My Father (RIP) & Brother are the exact opposite, they'll drive a new car off the lot & never change a thing other than normal wear items...seems so sad & boring to me, but as long as they are happy with their choices...

    Brotha Dub,

    I'm usually not into the spike thang but they look real nice.

    Are they pressed in or threaded? It looks like they went into existing holes on the rim so what did you have to drill?

    Thanx T man...
    What look like existing holes are just decorative indents, made centering the drill bit E-Z...
    The studs are threaded on the inside, & held on from the back side of the rim by...what else?...stainless cap screws...

    Oh, & let's not forget...a little loc-tite.

    What's a portable system...

    I'm guessing boom box, but at your advanced age, it could be portable oxygen...

    Well, I guess if you weren't in such good shape,...& started smoking...
